Bayard's Commission.

Seldom, if ever before, has Secretary OF
State assumed such great responsibilities
as has Mr.. Bayard. He has undertaken to
form Commission the members of which,
are to be selected and appointed by him
self for the purpose of formulating treaty
between the United States and England,
which shall forever settle the great fish
cries dispute. Lacking every official
quality without Government authorization,
in direct defiance of the directions OF Con-
gress, without the necessary appropria.
tons, Mr.. Bayard's proposed Commission
is to meet one duly and fully authorized
by Great Britain to bind that nation to any
agreement that may be made And yet
Mr.. Bayard thinks that he will find men
among the democrats who will accept
positions on this Commission. In assum-
ing this much he casts serious reflections
upon the party which, however hungry for
office, does not banker for empty honors.
He belittles himself in thus asserting a
right hitherto not recognized in this coun-
try. He by persisting, places his nation
in very uncomfortable position, in ex-
Treating itself from which, Mr.. Bayard
and his Commission will be subjected to
deep disgrace. In the end Congress
will settle the matter and in way that
will be tar more satisfactory to the people

The Great Object of the Admins
tratiOn.

Prominent among the members Of thu
late Pennsylvania democratic convention
were forty or more federal Office holders
democrats who were actively engaged il
the business of the convention. A Phila
delphia paper obtained complete list o
names of these gentlemen and published
it, calling the Presidents attention to the
wholesale disregard of his injunctions
relating to the participation OF fedora
office holders in political conventions anC
elections, and called for the proper lnves
tigation. The Presidents attentona wa
repeatedly called to the publication of the
list and by none more emphatcally thar
by the democratic papers. Finally news
paper representatives called upon him to
ascertain his course in the matter and he
has been so kind as to inform one OF them
that he would investigate the conduct of the
federal officials reported to be prominent
among the workers at the Pennsylvania
convention "when definite charges are
made against them" This reply can be
understood as having but one meaning
and that is. II am entirely satisfied that
the accused officials were about their
business which is to secure every needed
advantage for my denomination. And how
else can it be understood The Reform
League of Baltimore upon being assured
that Higgins conduct would be investi-
gated if it would prefer" definite charges
placed before the President not only the
charges but evidence to sustain the
charges. Has the President ever done
anythingp No, nor will he investigate
now if charges are preferred. The
fact is, there is pretty good
understanding between the Presi.
dent and his subordinate officials
They know that all his talk about re
form, his iniunctions in regard to the
conduct of officials is all buncombe. They
realize that unless they work for his re.
election they fall short of their own saliva
ton. But the game is about played
nobody believes in President Cleveland's
reform, nobody believes in his sincerity
nobody believes that he is not working with
all his powers tor just one thing and that

fortunate as to secure this it will be the
only thing accomplished during his term
of office. This Is the great object of the
Cleveland administration.
